I'm 18. I've been single for 18 years, a new record!

I'm all shy and have too much pride. I have a feeling my instincts will take enough control soon though. I've gained courage recently and I suspect my hormones are helping.

it's also unfortunate that i'm gay, and every guy i'm interested in is straight

What I find depressing is how most girls seem too much alike, too 'standardized'. If I can somehow explain it... I guess the accepted ideal of what an attractive female is just doesn't do anything for me. It's like they've got a mould somewhere, and they're just stamping them out. They all have the same sandy-blonde hair, the same figure and facial structure, wear the same sorts of clothes, etc. I can objectively say 'yeah, so-and-so is attractive', but...

Never mind that this is a convenient rationalization for not having to deal with the problem.

I enjoy being single in the fact that I don't really have to worry about a ton about my appearance (I like to look relatively nice, but with a girlfriend I'd probably have to put a lot more consideration), no issues with money (girlfriend=money), or have to do stuff I don't really enjoy doing or am not interested in (like browsing the mall, etc).

It gets lonely though: sometimes I literally dream about the perfect women who just gets along perfectly with me. However I'm also dissuaded to find a girlfriend because there are times when I can't stand being around other people, let alone close friends. I'm most comfortable alone! :/

Ranting complete!

>I enjoy being single in the fact that I don't really have to worry about a ton about my appearance

Funny I worry about my appearance because I am single

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about (of course I am a gay single female :{ )
What is funny is that I know many of these beautiful girls and they always wonder why it's so hard to find a boyfriend.
The answer is:

  1. they strive to look like every other girl out there
  2. they are unbelievably stupid and boring(because they spent so much time on their appearance rather than their mind growing up)

17 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-25 22:26 ID:Heaven

>they strive to look like every other girl out there

Yeah, and I like it when goth-chicks (or goths or the like in general) think they're unique while they're just another cliche.

18 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-26 16:45 ID:wLF/CUXM

I think some of it is that I prefer 'cute' over 'hot'.

19 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-26 18:52 ID:Heaven

>>17 has it right, rule 1 in >>16 applies to ALL cultures and subcultures. For me it is hipster art-students who are really irritating. When it comes down to it, they would rather look «creative» than be creative.

Girls who don't give a shit, who live only in their minds like an autistic child, where can you find them? Do you really want to find them?

Wow, I always say the exact same thing.

23 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-27 02:05 ID:Heaven

My problems are classical: I cling to old, failed relationships for a long time, each failed relationship drags me down more and I am less and less motivated to actually open up to new people in general. Blech.

Do girls want to find guys like that? =(

Of course Not. Basically, many girls search a simple guy how make her feel the most beautiful woman in the earth. But, woman's want another things : a cool look, intelligence and nice performance. Money is no necessary, but it must be worker.

>>26 I wish girls liked smrts. But then most guys who have that complaint are pompous assholes, and I am a shy wallflower (*-ω-)

28 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-27 22:25 ID:Heaven

>>23

Well, at least you've recognised your problem.

Now, do something about. Be an asshole. Pretend that you were the one who decided to terminate those relationships and that they meant nothing... and start looking for a new one right away.

Or go the alternate route and attempt to start a new relationship, but take it slow. That way if it fails it would have meant little to you, as it probably wouldn't have been very developed.

This person speaks of the truth.

Generally just try and be outgoing, take care of your appearance, and you'll do just fine. Learn how to speak with women, have some conversation topics ready to go, and anyone should do fine.

Don't expect to take a shower, get dressed, go to a club, and find a long lasting relationship, but hey, itll be a start.

I am too lazy and introverted for that. And those solutions have too much to do with pretending and make believe, things I am just not good at and don't want to become good at.

Considering that I'm the same way, I think I can safely say this is bullshit. Not everything in life is just going to fall into your lap - you have to work a little bit to get anything worth having.

32 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-01 21:09 ID:Y9dTunl8

People basically scare me. Like a phobia. Pretty much kills any hope for me.

33 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-01 21:17 ID:Heaven

>>32 Does it? There are girls who are like that too. Pay attention to how you yourself act in public, and try to notice girls who behave the same way.

34 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-01 21:50 ID:Heaven

>>33 So he can hang around girls who act exactly the same as him? How boring.

35 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-01 21:50 ID:Y9dTunl8

What'll that accomplish? In the rare instances I'm out in public...

They'll still scare the shit out of me.

36 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-02 04:23 ID:Heaven

I figure it would help if you knew the girl was really scared of you. Maybe you would feel braver knowing that.

It's too painful to keep going, isn't it? Meeting someone you really like, someone you really feel comfortable talking to, to think maybe, just maybe, get all of your hopes up, take the nice things they say about you as hints of something more, think about the wonderful days ahead, and then be crushed, completely, with no hope of anything getting accomplished at all?

Well, fuck love. I reject it. The only thing keeping me warm this winter is my rage.

42 Name: 42 2005-11-05 23:05 ID:UrDtQCHY

Hello. I'd like to ask for some serious suggestions. I'm not sure how to explain this so I'll just start from the begining. About 2 years ago I met an amazing girl at my school. Lets just say her name is MD. I always noticed her around, but never had an opportunity to talk to her until one day I saw her talking to another one of my friends and joined their conversation. They were both Japanese, and I'm very interested in the culture, so I found it easy to find things to talk about. By the end of the conversation I had her email address, phone number, and I had made a friend. However, at the same time I was becoming close with one of her friends(we'll call her CT) who I thought I had a better chance with. Eventually, we started to date and all of us(me, CT, and MD) would hang out together often. The relationship with CT turned out to be a disaster. We fought nonstop and broke up countless times in less than a 6 month period. She would often be jealous of my freindship with MD which led to the end of their friendship. My feelings for MD began to grow more and more, so I finally gave up on my relationship with my CT. The day after I broke up with her, I found out MD got a boyfriend. I thought I was gonna die. Also at the same time, my brother left home with his girlfriend. I don't think I ever felt so lonely. Anyway, several months later I found out she broke up with her boyfriend. We were talking about it online, and as the conversation came to an end, she asked if I wanted to go see a movie. I really can't describe how happy that made me. After all my bad luck, it seemed things were turning around. I really thought I had a chance. I was soooo nervous though. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I did EVERYTHING possible to prepare for the day I would meet her. Finally that day came around. We saw the movie then ended up cooking something at my house. I was scared the whole time, so it wasn't the smoothest date ever (if you'd even consider it a date), but it still seems like a dream to me. however, it seems that as the day ended, so did my dream. I wrote her an email the next day thanking her for everything. It was days before I got a response. I would email her back, and it started taking longer and longer for responses. Finally It got to the point where I was going crazy. I had lost about 20 pounds at this point. She just didn't seem interested.... Finally I got an email from her saying that she was going back to Japan soon. I emailed her back asking to see her before she left. I never got a response.(btw, I only emailed because it was hard for her to understand me on the phone) The day she left, I stayed up all night hoping to see her online one last time so I could talk to her... at about 3 in the morning she signed on, but right away left. I felt like crap. I never cared for someone as much as I cared for her.. I really can't explain it. Well, a few months later I found out from a friend that she was comming back from Japan to take some more classes! I finally emailed her just to verify it but again got no repsonse. Now, I sometimes see her at school.. our eyes will meet, but quickly leave. We don't say anything to each other. I think it's been about 6 months since we've talked. Nowadays I see her online more often too, but I can't gather the courage to say anything. I don't know what to say. I don't understand why she stopped talking to me. As bad as the situation seems, I feel like I can't give up. I try to be interested in other girls, but my mind always goes back to MD. I'm sorry for such a long post, but to those who've taken the time to read it, any help would be more than apprecaited.

Sorry for your little drama (awesome), but, maybe she don't like you or maybe she know another person. If you tried talk to her for this, maybe she can explain you about your real feeling for you. If you don´t courage for asked her.. well.. it finished. I have an advise for you, 42, ask her.. you know, search a good moment and ask her.

If you want people to read what you write, please learn about paragraphs.

tl,dr

46 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-06 04:43 ID:Heaven

Could it be that the lack of paragraph breaks is what drove her away from him in the first place?

If that's the case, >>42, any girl that lets a few newlines every now and then get in the way of your undying love doesn't deserve you anyway! Go forth and find someone willing to toss away the rules of good grammar and readability with wild abandon for you. After all, love is illiterate!

47 Name: 42 2005-11-06 06:51 ID:UrDtQCHY

Thanks for your response. I guess my biggest problem is that I just don't know what to say to her. I used to be able to talk to her so easily, but things are different now. I know that sounds pretty pathetic, but that's just how I feel.

>>43 >>45 >>46

Sorry about the lack of paragraphs. I didn't expect it to be that long. I'm also new this whole BBS thing so feel free to let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

Soo... what do I say? Should I just email her and take the risk of waiting? Or should I wait to catch her online? Doshio...
